As a philosopher, I have to deal with lots of different styles from 
dozens of different journals.

I use natbib, mcbride 
(http://www.digitas.harvard.edu/cgi-bin/wiki/ken/McBride), and BibDesk 
and have no troubles with getting exactly what I want.

For reprints and translations, I just use the note field. McBride tacks 
it on at the end of the bibliographic entry as it should. If you are 
doing citation in footnotes rather than in-line citations, jurabib 
really is what you want.

Take a look at McBride. It might just be what you want.

Cheers,
